Open-Source GPS
Oct 7th
Being sick of all the commercial GPS solutions out there, I’ve decided to start coding my own GPS solution – with autorouting and all! Let’s see how this goes…
So far I’ve already coded the NMEA/GPS integration. Took me about 30m to write it up; should be fun. IMO the hardest part will be getting the maps to work. Any takers on reverse engineering Destinator/TomTom/etc formats?
Once it’s finished, it should work on all .NET enabled platforms – standard and/or Mono-based. I’ll be supporting Windows Mobile as the standard mobile platform for development.
Drop me a line.
